The Los Angeles Rams have added another playmaker to the secondary. After drafting safety Taylor Rapp in the second round, the Rams opted for a cornerback in the third. With the 79th overall pick, the team added David Long from Michigan.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to the selection:
Rams 79th pick, CB David Long, is coming back to Los Angeles. He grew up in LA and attended Loyola High School.

The Rams with an absolute steal by our standards, snagging David Long (our 33rd overall player & 4th CB) at 79th overall. The #Saints could see him in action Week 2. pic.twitter.com/EVcRpKKoct

David Long, Tier 1 cBAT. Sleeper to be the best CB in this class from the slot. https://t.co/AKPUy5gwzK

Yes. The Rams did their homework. David Long is coming home. Third round. Pasadena native. Loyola High via Michigan. I’ll bet he’s jumping up and down.

Wanted David Long for the Seahawks. Would have been a perfect nickel-corner in that system. Great pick for the Rams.

As someone who has watched a lot of David Long, I think the Rams are going to be pleased with David Long.

No David Long highlights?
yall trash espn— D-Mack💯 (@StayMackin85) April 27, 2019
And Les Snead is the second smartest.
David Long is like a lite of both Talib and Peters, a fine athlete who thrives in press man and off man. Awesome rotational/situational cornerback for the Rams. https://t.co/QPiuTuacwZ— Cagen Cantrell (@CeeingTheDraft) April 27, 2019
